Tempe
to Coolidge Dam(6/20/04)I left Tempe at 8:00am heading east on US Hwy-60. US
Hwy-60 in the eastern part of the Valley of the Sun is a littery
expressway that goes through Mesa, Apache Junction, and Gold
Canyon. It switches from an expressway to a four-lane highway
just east of Apache Junction and it is at this point that
I become happy to be on the road again...[More]

"Standing
on the Corner in Winslow, Arizona"
On Memorial Day weekend of 2004 we took a two-day/one-night,

get a picture of...[More]

Gila
Bend & DatelandI haven't kept count, but I've probably driven pass Dateland,
Arizona, a dozen times since 1985 without ever stopping. On

to Dateland via Gila Bend and other places...[More]

Spring
Break!
Catch a Sunday, 11:08am, flight from Sky Harbor in Phoenix
to San Jose, California, arriving on-time at 12:01pm. It was

feet...[More]

US
Hwy 60The plan was to head west on I-10, exit the Interstate
at Exit #45 to visit New Hope, continue I-10 west and exit
at Exit #31 onto US Hwy-60. This is the western end of US
Hwy-60 (it used to go to LA -- the eastern end is in Virginia
Beach, VA.) The plan was altered when I could not find any
visible signs of New Hope. Instead of returning to I-10, we
took Vicksburg Road north to Vicksburg Junction and...[More]

Southeast
Arizona
Day One: Leave Tempe, AZ, at 6:45am. It is dark and chilly.
Thanks to Valley of the Sun urban sprawl, I can take Loop
101 south that connects to Loop 202 west that in turn connects
to I-10. From my home in Tempe, the drive to I-10 is 12 miles
non-stop. The drive south on I-10 was 3 miles before taking
AZ Hwy-347 south. The town of Maricopa is 15 miles and AZ
Hwy-84 is 44 miles. AZ Hwy-84 hits I-10 in 5 miles. The drive
west on I-8 is a 33 miles scenic drive. Yes, some portions
of Interstate are surrounded by Mother Nature...[More]

Top
of the World
On Monday, 29 December 2003, I took a one-day, 134 mile, road
trip to/from Top of the World, Arizona using US Highway-60.
I left Tempe at 11:30am and returned home at 5:00pm. Why the
Top of the World? I decided to drive to the Top of the World
because for some reason it was given a dot in my Arizona Road
& Recreation Atlas, and I wanted to know why. In addition,
I wanted to hike Silly Mountain, re-visit Superior, go to
the World's Smallest Museum, and get pictures of the Queen
Creek Tunnel...[More]

The
Apache TrailStarting location is Tempe, Arizona. Enter the Apache
Trail where Mill Avenue curves into Apache Boulevard and head
east. It is 9:45am and already a sunny day. Apache Boulevard
has a negative reputation in Tempe and political sign litter
doesn't help improve stuff. The Apache Trail in Tempe will
be part of the path for the future light rail transportation
system imaginatively named Metro...[More]
